What is ear wax removal?
Ear wax is a natural substance that protects the ear, but when it builds up it can cause symptoms such as hearing loss, discomfort, dizziness, tinnitus, or blocked ears.
At Hollowood Chemists, we provide professional ear wax removal using microsuction, the safest and most effective method recommended by hearing specialists.
Microsuction uses gentle suction under direct visual guidance to remove wax without introducing water into the ear canal.
Why we use microsuction
No water — safer than syringing
Suitable for perforated eardrums (where appropriate)
Quick and comfortable
Immediate improvement in hearing for most patients
Our clinicians assess your ears first and will only proceed if it is safe to do so.
